What does Shaensigin's voice sound like in human tongue? Is she better at speaking spider-paw words or the language of two-toes? And what is her natural tongue/sounds, if any?

Shaensigin is very good at spiderpaw talk and something of a mimic. In a time long past, she and Ilganyag had a game they’d play, where they’d start with one word, and go back and forth repeating it, adding a new word of their own every round. Whoever couldn’t repeat the entire string of words first lost the game.

Shaensigin kept up with the bird pretty well.

More impressively, Shaensigin helped the Inak create their language. She’s not only good at it, but responsible for large parts of it. Of all the senet beast gods the two-toes have and still do worship, she has the longest history with them.

Humans can’t speak the two-toe tongue; we can’t make the right sounds. I’m not even going to try and type them out, but there are clicky knocks they make in their snouts, a growled consonant, and little gruffs :3 When I imagine Ruffles squeakily gruffling to her nanna I wish to slightly die.

Second in the series. I’m really proud of how this turned out, I kind of let go and painted nonstop until this was done, really late last night. I guess you could call it vent art.

Oh please, I think we all know by now that Matty’s the big bad of this story.

One of the plats (probably Jon or Magnus) is the big bad and this is their origin story admit it.

But I thought Lemuel was the Big Bad and this is HIS origin story! Think one of the Plats could be his primary minion?

Hey... I hear you're asking for are suggestions... how about 4A for Stephen's mom?

The final product!! Holy WHOO this was a KILLER DRAWING.

I loved drawing every part of it, but containing myself to get it done by Halloween became increasingly unlikely the more I worked on it and the closer the deadline came.

In total? This drawing took about–

19 HOURS AND 26 MINUTES HOLY–

*Many background wheezing breaths*

It’s all good! I am SUPER proud of how this turned out, tackling 15 characters in a fully shaded drawing was hard but a lot of fun! I got to draw a couple characters I don’t typically, which is awesome!

The speed paint will be up on Youtube soon!

From left to right:

Tanglewood, Cherry Parish, Vestice, Bavel, Alabaster, Toil, Black Griffin, Angela, Khrey, Draken, Wynstunn, Peperre (pink stripe lady), Prime and Plume (circus sisters), and Scat Cat!

If you want to know more about these characters, please check out the descriptions on my Patreon! Thanks for being patient with me, it means a lot that you guys want to see my art and stories! <3

Your efforts were valiant, if futile.

Were there any extraneous scenes that you considered putting in the new Hellbent video but ultimately cut? If they're not spoiler-y, care to tell us a couple?

Unfortunately Muppet vivi didn’t make the final cut, but I want you all to know that I tried.

SIEGE OF YRE

This thing is about 44″ by 17″ in realsize, please for the love of god go see it on the main site (or you can click here). In comic terms it’s a 4 page spread. It is easily more than 100+ hours of work and 4 weeks of time. I was inspired by the famous screen painting ‘The Siege of Osaka’. Hope you enjoy poring it over!

Help a gal and her cat out, oh 9 followers of mine

$5 COMMISSIONS! Not even kidding! I posted this on a different app but it was taken down. My baby has a tumor, and I need extra money for X-rays and surgery, provided that the cancer hasn’t spread to her little lungs.

gofundme.com/58mn6-surgery-for-kitkat

My go fund me campaign- but I am more than happy to work for the money. I’ll draw pretty much anything right now within reason. $5 minimum for the 5.5 x 7” sketches.

I NEVER ASK FOR REBLOGS BUT- I’m putting my pride aside and trying to do what’s best for my baby. Please reblog this if you’re a fan of my work- or a fan of cats. I love her so much and can’t stand the thought of losing her.

Someone pitched her out the side door of his truck one day and she tumbled onto the pavement and it broke my heart because she was so tiny and her eyes were gunked shut. I kept her a secret from my parents in my room upstairs for 6 years. It was just the two of us. So as you can imagine I have a very deep bond with kitkat and I would do anything for her.

If you want to help but can’t commission or donate then please reblog it will mean the world to me and the sweetest little catholic could ever meet.

Wow, so many props I could put on a play

Was the mention of the volcanoe perchance when Sette wasn't trying to teach Duane to lie and teaching through example she said "I'm the best liar to ever climb to the highest peak of Mt Bloodbasin" ?

You got it first, all the props to you ;)

Such a face of unbridled rage can only belong to The Johnny Jhonny. (I love it, thank ye)

"Send me a ✍ and a character and I’ll draw the character horribly on MS Paint." I have two words for you: Johnny. Jhonny.

Life’s greatest mystery: is this a drawing of Shou Suzuki or Johnny Jhonny?

Send me a ✍ and a character and I’ll draw the character horribly on MS Paint.

You're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you - The Oatmeal

This is a comic about the backfire effect.

Read it.

So I hear some of you guys like print books. The Unsounded Volume 3 Kickstarter is live now!

I’m hoping to fund a fantastic print of the third volume and also reprints of volumes 1 and 2! You’ll find some other goodies up for grabs there as well. Reblogs are always appreciated!

I’m nervous because that is my nature, but you guys give me strength. Thank you for supporting me and the comic :) Please disregard Sette, she is a garbage baby. Jivi, Matty, and I will keep her on the straight and narrow.

Okay but imagine super-zombie-strength Duane with a fully metal pymaric body. He'd be Alderode's terminator!

Full Metal Spellwright!

At first hearing that Duane was at any point in his life anything other than a bookish, pedantic wizard nerd caught me off guard, but then you think of all the times he ends up punching people and begin to wonder if there’s more ‘bully’ left in him than he’d care to admit

Wait, what was the divine revelation that made Duane pursue priesthood? Or will it come up in the comic later?

I don’t know if it’ll ever come up in the comic, and Duane’s always been kind of embarrassed to speak of it aloud because it makes him feel like one of those backwoods zealots that preaches anecdotes from a stump, but yeah, he had an Experience when he was a kid. Ssaelism is a very rational faith. It doesn’t encourage you to go around saying Ssael appeared to you in a vision and told you where you left your lucky kedis foot. If you tell your priest that Ssael speaks to you he’ll roll his eyes and suggest you stop mixing beer and wine.

Anyway, Duane was badly injured in a street accident (it was totally Lemuel’s fault, he was being a little shit) and very nearly didn’t make it. Duane was a very rambunctious kid - some might say a bully - and though his grandfather was teaching him pymary Duane tended to use it like, well, Sette might. To make his brother and their peers miserable. After he was hurt he was bedbound for a few months and his interests abruptly turned bookish. At the same time, frigging Sonum Ssael started talking to him in the back of his head, saying he needed to straighten the hell up.

Even after he recovered Duane was hobbling for a year and never took up his old role of neighbourhood bully. Instead he began studying his grandfather’s books, reading everything Ssael ever wrote, and spending way too much time in the ghers library. He shocked his grandfather by beginning to beat him in their play-duels, and shocked his dad by humbly requesting to attend seminary and become a cleric instead of becoming his apprentice in their family print shop.

Duane always heard Ssael with startling clarity in his prayers. That voice went away after his bad night in the snow.

Reblogging for posterity's sake

Do you think you could do a video with some Tainish readings? Is that too difficult?

Not a video but here’s a quickie http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Et5Nmmgxta

I have to take my dog to the vet now, she’s got like an alien growing out of her eyelid, this can’t be normal.

What's the difference in pronunciations between the Ss in Ssael and the S in Soud? Are they, perhaps, pronounced the same, but spelled so as an artefact from Old Tainish? What about the Mm in Mmatont- how's that pronounced?

Double S is a z. Double m is an m with a stop after, treat the mm like its own syllable. So it’s mm-atont. Like, yum, delicious traitors. Mm-atont.

Double n works the same. ssh- is the same. Double L I borrowed from Spanish, and is an english y, with the interesting New Tainish tweak of becoming a separate syllable if it’s at the end of a word. So sshupall (friend) is pronounced probably nothing like you’d imagine! It’s four syllables. ssh-oo-pah-yeh.

Originally I considered using more apostrophes and diacritics in Tainish but fantasy languages are always tattooed up with marks like eighty year old bikers. If French can have utterly unintuitive orthography, so can Tainish, by gum.

Oh yeah I forgot that was a thing that existed. Quite understandable, considering I’ve only read the first chapter 8, 9-ish times. Poor Root, it didn’t ask to be burned up by virtue of Sette’s foul mouth and Duane’s pig-headedness. Rest In Pieces

"Empathic trees" I cannot recall any empathic, or even sentient trees in this comic as of yet. Would you be so kind as to clarify?

The Wand’ring Root in the first chapter!
